1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 UFO sightings are a relatively modern phenomenon, 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000 but there are those who have raised the question 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000 of ancient alien interaction. 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Now, recent discoveries suggest contact with UFOs 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000 likely occurred earlier in history than ever imagined. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000 Given that these are artifacts from ancient times, 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000 it tells me that these are depictions of contact 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000 with an ancient visitor. 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000 New evidence of ancient monuments built for the gods 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000 that descended from the sky. 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Are the ancient Mayans trying to point to their own origins 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000 that could perhaps be extraterrestrial? 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 If any of this is true, I mean, this can only suggest 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000 that these really are talking about extraterrestrial visitors. 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Why have governments all around the world been keeping secret 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 their knowledge of ancient contact with ancient civilizations? 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 It's not simply that we're dealing with an inherently mysterious phenomenon. 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000 We are also dealing with government and military obfuscation 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000 and secrecy. 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Did UFOs land on Earth several millennia ago 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000 and seed modern civilization? 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000 What I see is an expression of the same concepts 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000 all across different cultures, all saying the same thing, 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000 which is that we came from somewhere else. 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000 It goes to show you that these visitors have been here 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 for a very, very long time. 27 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000 New information is transforming what people believe 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000 about extraterrestrial spacecraft. 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Are UFOs really visiting our world? 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 Is the government hiding the truth? 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000 And if so, could new archaeological evidence reveal 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000 the astonishing truth of ancient UFO Earth landings? 33 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:11,000 March 25, 2013, Mexico City. 34 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Here, in the most populated metropolitan area 35 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 in the Western Hemisphere, 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 government ministers declare publicly that they hold 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000 archaeological artifacts proving the reality of early contact 38 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000 between the ancient Maya and UFOs. 39 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Seen here for the first time on national television, 40 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000 the artifacts have been kept a closely guarded state secret 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 for over 80 years. 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 But why? 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000 When one looks at the classic Mesoamerican civilizations, 44 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000 the Mayans, the Incas, 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000 it's interesting to note the recurrence of the idea 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000 of visitors from the stars, 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000 sky gods coming down, interacting with the people. 48 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 This is a thread that runs through the narrative 49 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 of these peoples, of these civilizations. 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Is this just story and myth? 51 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Or is it a retelling of something that actually happened? 52 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000 These artifacts are very dramatic, 53 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000 and they show in some cases what looks like clear, 54 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000 gray alien extraterrestrial and flying saucers. 55 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000 So I think we need to be very careful, 56 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000 find the true origin, and fact check the heck out of it. 57 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 According to artifacts researcher Klaus Dana, 58 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000 the long lost objects were found in a cave 59 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 just north of Mexico City. 60 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 But some in the Mexican Institute of Anthropology and History 61 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 believe the artifacts were originally from 62 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000 the ancient Maya archaeological site of Calakmul. 63 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000 This once mighty city, dating to 600 AD, 64 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000 was possibly the largest Maya city with the tallest known pyramid 65 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 in the Yucatan Peninsula. 66 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000 So the earliest evidence of Maya, 67 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000 we start seeing around 1500 BC. 68 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000 We're seeing denser populations of people 69 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000 that are starting to build monumental architecture 70 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000 and that monumental architecture has certain signatures 71 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000 that we start seeing in other places 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 throughout the Maya region. 73 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Regarded by scholars as one of the most sophisticated 74 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 civilizations in the ancient world, 75 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000 the Maya also mastered agriculture, engineering, and astronomy. 76 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Their calendars accurately tracked celestial events over decades. 77 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000 But did the Maya create this remarkably advanced civilization 78 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 through their own ingenuity? 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Or is it possible, as some UFO researchers believe, 80 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000 the Maya acquired such knowledge from extraterrestrial beings 81 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000 that arrived in what we now call UFOs? 82 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000 This is intriguing possibility, and again, it all ties in, 83 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 perhaps, to the ideas of gods coming from the skies, 84 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000 interacting with these people, sharing their sacred knowledge. 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000 In fact, many UFO researchers believe 86 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000 the artifacts discovered in Mexico more than 80 years ago 87 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000 support the theory that the Maya not only experienced 88 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 otherworldly visitation, 89 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000 but paid homage to their visitors through their artwork. 90 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000 It's been suggested that many of these images 91 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000 come from the shamanic journey, 92 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000 that they come from things glimpsed in the shamanic trance, 93 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000 which are maybe based on some mixture of dream 94 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000 and imagination and reality all mixed together. 95 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 So is any of this alien? We don't know, 96 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000 but it's an intriguing mystery and worth further study. 97 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000 But what if the artifacts reveal something more than a spiritual journey? 98 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,000 What if, as UFO experts believe, they reveal actual contact with UFOs? 99 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000 One of them looks clearly like a flying saucer or some kind of flying craft. 100 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000 It's this shape, it's got a classic UFO shape to it. 101 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 It's definitely depicting something flying. 102 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 To me, this is very strong evidence 103 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000 that we've been visited in the past by ancient visitors. 104 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000 But according to UFO researchers, one key question remains, 105 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000 are these Maya artifacts authentic? 106 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 The fact that the government released these artifacts 107 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000 that clearly depict UFOs and some kind of advanced alien technology, 108 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 that's kind of a big deal because you don't necessarily have world governments 109 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000 that are willing to release physical evidence, 110 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000 but are they real? We don't know. 111 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Although the concept of flying saucers or flying discs and their images 112 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000 only began in the mid-20th century, 113 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000 officials at the Mexican Institute of Anthropology and History 114 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000 have determined the artifacts predate flying saucer imagery by centuries. 115 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000 The discs, they were found 80 years ago. 116 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 80 years ago, there was no such thing as a flying saucer. 117 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 So whatever these objects are, they clearly existed 80 years ago 118 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 before there was any sort of flying saucer culture or TV interviews 119 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000 or any of these kinds of programs. 120 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000 So the idea that they're not authentic kind of blows up right there 121 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 because to me, clearly if they were found and this is what they look like, 122 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000 it's now up to us to make a modern interpretation of what they were supposed to represent. 123 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000 According to UFO researchers, evidence of extraterrestrial visitors 124 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000 found 60 miles farther south in the ancient city of Ticall 125 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 is more difficult to dispute. 126 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Surrounded by dense rainforests, 127 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Ticall is believed to be the oldest urban center of the Maya civilization. 128 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Ticall is located in northern Guatemala, very large site, 129 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000 covered about seven or eight square miles, about 50,000 people. 130 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 The earliest beginnings around 400 BC. 131 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Evidence of astonishing Maya architectural and astronomical achievements 132 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000 can be found in what was once Ticall's Grand Plaza. 133 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Seven pyramids stand in perfect alignment 134 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000 and in the same geometric pattern as the Pleiades star cluster, 135 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000 which is visible to the naked eye. 136 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000 For the Mayans to lay out their pyramids in the formation of the Pleiades constellation 137 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000 took great care and effort and why would they do such a thing? 138 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000 It has to been of great importance to them. 139 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000 The Mayans actually say that they did this because this is where they come from, 140 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000 that they have actually come from the Pleiades 141 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000 and they acknowledged it by the construction of these very unique pyramids 142 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000 on this site completely aligned with the Pleiades. 143 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000 Mainstream scientists believe that such achievements in complex construction 144 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000 were made possible because of a unique and sophisticated number system 145 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000 developed by the Maya. 146 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:05,000 But UFO researchers contend that even this was the result of contact with supernatural entities. 147 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000 The Mayan, they say their gods come from the Pleiades 148 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 as do many other native cultures. 149 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000 The question becomes, not only where are they getting the information, 150 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000 but where are they getting the mathematical intellectual acuity? 151 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,000 To me, it lends itself to extraterrestrial intelligences 152 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000 either deeply, deeply connected with this civilization 153 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000 or at least being visited by them to give them this information. 154 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000 But perhaps the most compelling evidence of contact with UFOs at Tikal, 155 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000 say UFO experts, is this astonishing stone carving 156 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 known as the Tikal Astronaut. 157 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000 One stone figure found at Tikal is particularly intriguing. 158 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Now, some people might say that it just shows a representation of someone 159 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 in a ceremonial headdress of some sort, 160 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000 but others look at it and say, wait a minute, that's an astronaut's helmet. 161 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,000 This Mayan figurine wearing what looks to be like an astronaut's helmet 162 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,000 with breathing apparatus and kind of a pressure suit 163 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 looks to me like an ancient visitor. 164 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000 We have to depose the question, are these civilizations leaving a message here? 165 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Are the ancient Mayans trying to point to their gods? 166 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Are they trying to point to their own origins that could perhaps be extraterrestrial? 167 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Could this ancient artifact represent a so-called sky god 168 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000 that traveled from the Pleiades star cluster, as UFO researchers believe? 169 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000 And if so, why has the Mexican government kept their knowledge of these artifacts secret for so long? 170 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Investigators believe further evidence, long hidden in the Mexican jungle, 171 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000 could finally provide proof of what the government has known all along 172 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000 about alien contact in the distant past. 173 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000 According to researchers, new archaeological evidence could reveal clues 174 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000 to the question of early man's interaction with UFOs. 175 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000 After withholding archaeological evidence for 80 years, 176 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000 the Mexican government has finally come forward with what many believe is proof of UFO contact with the ancient Maya. 177 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000 What we've learned and indeed continue to learn as we study is that they were pretty advanced, 178 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000 mathematics, astronomy, written language. 179 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000 How they acquired that knowledge is fascinating, but it's an unanswered question. 180 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000 For UFO researchers, the answer lies in a fresh look at evidence long hidden 181 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000 in the mist-shrouded jungles of southern Mexico at the Maya ruins of Palenque. 182 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Here, at one of the most important archaeological sites of the Americas, lies the Temple of Inscriptions. 183 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:26,000 Inside, in 1952, archaeologist uncovered the burial tomb of Pekal the Great, 184 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 a Mayan king who ruled in the 6th century AD. 185 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:38,000 His mother handed over the throne to him at the age of 12, and he ruled for the next 68 years. 186 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,000 And that is the time that Palenque definitely has its renaissance. 187 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000 More buildings, more construction goes on during that time period. 188 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000 We also know that King Pekal lived to be 80 years old because we've done age analysis on his skeletal remains. 189 00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,000 In addition to the king's remains, archaeologists discovered perhaps the most studied and controversial ancient Maya artifact. 190 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000 King Pekal's sarcophagus lived. 191 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,000 One of the impressive elements of Pekal has something to do with his sarcophagus with this enormous lid, 192 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000 which measures about 4 meters by 3 meters, solid piece of limestone. 193 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000 And it has an image of Pekal himself being swallowed up by an earth monster as he's entering Shabalva. 194 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000 That's what they refer to as the underworld. 195 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000 But UFO researchers believe King Pekal's sarcophagus lid represents something else entirely, 196 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000 something they call the Maya astronaut. 197 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000 I'm a mechanical engineer. I worked in the aerospace industry for years. 198 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:49,000 I see mechanical devices, some sort of modern technology being controlled and piloted by, I would assume, King Pekal. 199 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000 He's turning dials, he's operating guidance systems, there are foot pedals being used. 200 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000 Out of the back of this sort of rocket ship shape, there are flames coming out. 201 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:11,000 The sarcophagus of King Pekal, it shows a figure who looks for all the world as if he's actually in what can only be described as a space capsule. 202 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Now, is this image on the Polenki lid, as some believe, the Mayans homage to their creator gods who came from the stars? 203 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Perhaps King Pekal believed that after death he would journey back to the stars himself, 204 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000 and his sarcophagus would be the vehicle in which he traveled. 205 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000 There's been a lot of speculation that either King Pekal was deeply involved with extraterrestrials, 206 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000 or in fact he was an extraterrestrial himself. 207 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000 And the idea is that this lid was actually depicting him returning home after his death, 208 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000 returning back to the stars from whence he came. 209 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000 This is very unique and it has raised a lot of questions. 210 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Is in fact this King in some sort of oxygen chamber or perhaps some sort of space pod? 211 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000 We don't know, but it is an intriguing image. 212 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:18,000 We know that the Mayans have talked about sky gods and the technology that they used to come down to Earth and share their teachings. 213 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 It goes to show you that these visitors have been here for a very, very long time. 214 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Is King Pekal's sarcophagus lid the ultimate proof of UFO landings in the ancient past, as researchers believe? 215 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000 And why would the Mexican government be hiding this? 216 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:46,000 According to UFO investigators, similar artifacts resembling astronauts have been found in other cultures all around the world. 217 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000 In Ecuador, South America, in a region once dominated by the ancient Inca people, 218 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,000 UFO researchers have taken renewed interest in clay figures handcrafted around 1500 BC. 219 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000 In Ecuador, you find these sculptures of what clearly appear to be beings in spacesuits. 220 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 They have helmets, they have fully pressurized suits, they have boots on. 221 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000 So clearly what the Inca are reproducing, the same things that the Mayans had already seen 222 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000 and already reproduced in their various artworks and sculptures. 223 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000 If you compare it side by side, you can definitely see the similarities between modern day astronauts, 224 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000 the helmet size, the whole layout of the suit, the belts. 225 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000 It looks like a pressure suit, and even it looks like it has some kind of apparatus on the back 226 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000 like our present day astronauts would have. 227 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Given that these are artifacts from ancient times, what does that tell you? 228 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:48,000 It tells me that these are depictions of contact with an ancient visitor. 229 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000 In Ecuador, it's very hot, it's very humid, you don't wear a lot of clothes. 230 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000 The idea that they would wear some sort of ceremonial clothes that look exactly like a heavy pressurized space suit 231 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000 with a space helmet is pretty ludicrous. 232 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000 You wouldn't do that for any reason other than to commemorate perhaps something you'd seen somebody else wear, 233 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000 like perhaps one of your gods. 234 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000 More strange artifacts have been unearthed halfway around the globe. 235 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,000 In Japan, the ancient Jomon people, a civilization dating as far back as 1200 BC, 236 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,000 created 12-inch clay figures known as the dogu. 237 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000 The dogu figurines from Japan are interesting. 238 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Some people say that they are representations of extraterrestrials. 239 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,000 There's no getting away from the fact that it's clearly not a literal representation of a human being, 240 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000 but does that mean that these people were carving visitors from the stars? 241 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000 We simply don't know. 242 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000 Now, it seems to me that what you're looking at is some sort of humanoid being in a pressurized suit, like a space suit. 243 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000 They have helmets, they have the wide, puffy sleeves like we're used to seeing on the Apollo astronauts. 244 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000 They even have the very large sort of alien gray type of eyes on them. 245 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:15,000 I mean, clearly you're looking at some sort of extraterrestrial who is not able to survive in the atmosphere of the planet Earth 246 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000 without the assistance of this pressurized suit. 247 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000 For modern man, depictions of men and women in space suits and alien beings with bulging eyes 248 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000 are images understood as normal in our everyday culture. 249 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000 But prior to the 1950s, researchers ask, 250 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:44,000 how is it possible that ancient men was able to depict or even imagine beings that appear to be outfitted like modern astronauts? 251 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Like the evidence uncovered at Maya ruins, could these stone carvings represent our ancestors' spiritual beliefs? 252 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Or contact with other worldly visitors? 253 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000 They seem to be tied up with worship, but worship of what? 254 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Ancient gods? But what if those gods were visiting extraterrestrials? 255 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Could this be evidence of ancient astronauts? 256 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,000 We don't know, but when you have all of these references across continents, through different cultures, 257 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000 and they're remarkably similar, one has to ask that question. 258 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Something that's been passed down through history throughout the world, 259 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000 different cultures that don't have any contact with each other share the same idea. 260 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000 I think that we've been visited on this planet for a very, very long time, 261 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000 and the ancient peoples have documented this visitation. 262 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000 But if early man was aware of space travelers as UFO researchers believe, 263 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:54,000 is there a truth yet to be revealed about the exact nature of man's relationship with extraterrestrial beings? 264 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:04,000 Searching for proof of ancient earth landings by extraterrestrial beings 265 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000 UFO researchers tracing the origin of the ancient Maya 266 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000 are taking a renewed look at evidence found in what many consider to be the oldest civilization of the Americas. 267 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 The Olmec 268 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000 Located 170 miles west of Palenque, near the Gulf of Mexico, 269 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000 the Olmec people thrived in an area known as La Venta. 270 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000 The Olmec come about around 1400 BC. 271 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,000 They existed in a pretty small area of the Gulf Coast and what's Southern Veracruz today. 272 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Often the Olmec are referred to as the mother culture of Mesoamerica. 273 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000 But really I think what that's referring to is they're the earliest state level society to form in Mesoamerica. 274 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000 They're the first ones to start building monumental architecture, 275 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000 and they're not giving a hierarchical government that type of thing. 276 00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Olmec religion was just woven into all aspects of their culture. 277 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000 They knew the earth was round. 278 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000 There was a priestly caste who mediated between their gods, 279 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000 who they say came from the sky, 280 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000 and the Mayans barred heavily from that cosmology. 281 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000 But while the Olmec dominated Central America for over 1000 years, 282 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000 by 300 BC the Olmec people seemed to mysteriously vanish from history. 283 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Why? 284 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,000 UFO researchers believe artwork discovered here may provide clues to their fate, 285 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000 beginning with these artifacts of what is known as the Olmec bird monster. 286 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000 We see with ancient art and ancient artifacts, 287 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000 it mimics anything. 288 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000 It actually mimics the Ketzal bird, which has an extremely long series of feathers. 289 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000 And when it flies through the air, it has these very long tail feathers that flap in the wind. 290 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000 But UFO researchers disagree. 291 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Olmec bird monsters look exactly like modern day Delta Wing jet aircraft. 292 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000 You can even see on some of them the air intakes. 293 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,000 They have tails, they have elevators, they have Delta Wing shaped airfoils. 294 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Clearly they were trying to depict things that they saw in the sky, 295 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000 these air monsters that were actually probably aircraft that they simply didn't understand, 296 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 they simply didn't know what they were looking at. 297 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:29,000 If you look at the Olmec bird monster, it really does look like a modern jet aircraft or a space shuttle. 298 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,000 It's got all the features, the fuselage, the wings, the tail. 299 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,000 I mean it really could be almost exact representation of something more modern. 300 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000 These things look like flying craft, almost like aircraft. 301 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,000 They don't fit the perfect flying saucer type UFO, but it's definitely a flying machine. 302 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Back then the neighbors think, this is some kind of bird, and it's so monstrous, it's a bird monster. 303 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000 UFO researchers believe further clues to the fate of the Olmec can be found in other artifacts at Leventa, 304 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000 some depicting what is known as the Olmec Dragon. 305 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Is a fiery dragon some sort of mythical sky creature? 306 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:21,000 The only way in which somebody in an ancient culture could frame a description of what we would now call a spaceship. 307 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Some people have speculated that when you look at, for example, legends of dragons flying in the sky and breathing fire, 308 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:38,000 that this is in fact how such ancient peoples described an extraterrestrial spacecraft, 309 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000 maybe with fiery exhaust coming out of the rear. 310 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:52,000 Is it possible the Olmec Dragon and the bird monster could be primitive man's interpretation of fire-emitting spacecraft? 311 00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,000 Perhaps the most controversial depiction among the Olmec artwork is found on a sculpture known by archaeologists as 312 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000 Monument 19. 313 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:15,000 It is the earliest known representation of the feathered serpent, a god-like figure known to both the Olmec and the Maya. 314 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Monument 19 is just a depiction of a warrior wearing a helmet, and he's with the feathered serpent, 315 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000 which is a deity all across Mesoamerica, and the fact that he has that little kit, 316 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000 maybe what that symbolizing is, this person is heading off into the afterlife. 317 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:42,000 For investigators, however, Monument 19 is regarded as evidence suggesting that there really was contact with UFOs in the ancient past. 318 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:52,000 Monument 19 at La Venta shows what many people believe is a representation of a human figure in a spaceship of some sort. 319 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Again, there's what seems to be machinery. 320 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,000 I mean, it really does look like something that's been constructed. 321 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000 I think that the feathered serpent is an analogy for some sort of flying craft that they saw, 322 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000 but there's actually a man inside of it, he's wearing a helmet, a pressure suit of some kind, 323 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,000 and he's also carrying a bag that looks a little bit like a purse, 324 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:20,000 but it also bears a really striking resemblance to an environmental systems pack like the astronauts carried before they would get on the space shuttle 325 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000 or before they would get on the Apollo mission. 326 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,000 It looks like the figure is actually moving levers, has some kind of apparatus on its head, 327 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:36,000 maybe some breathing gear, definitely not something that you would see someone doing, you know, 5,000 years ago. 328 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Anything that flew to the Olmec would have been feathered, so it would have been some sort of bird. 329 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000 So, again, it appears that they are depicting exactly what they saw, 330 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,000 which is a pilot of a feathered serpent, an aircraft, a high-altitude aircraft spacecraft of some type 331 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:57,000 that probably wore one of these pressurized suits with a helmet and an environmental control pack. 332 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,000 According to UFO researchers, the idea that ancient people could imagine a travel scenario 333 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,000 that would require a helmet and environmental protection is significant evidence in and of itself. 334 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Did the ancients really believe they were going someplace entirely different and hazardous for their health? 335 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:30,000 More to the point, from who or what were ancient civilizations getting the inspiration for such artwork over 3,000 years ago. 336 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:39,000 For UFO experts, the only possible answer lies in ancient contact with extraterrestrial beings in the distant past. 337 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000 This is a natural, logical conclusion based on the visual evidence. 338 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000 I tend to think that things are exactly what they appear to be. 339 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:56,000 The artifacts discovered among the ruins of the Maya, the Olmec, crafted by early Japanese and ancient Incas, 340 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000 all going back thousands of years, is this evidence of contact with UFOs? 341 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000 What if we look at man's earliest known civilization, the Sumerians? 342 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 Are there connections to alien life there as well? 343 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:20,000 And what stunning revelations might those connections reveal about the very origins of mankind? 344 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,000 After looking back over thousands of years to find evidence of man's interaction with ancient extraterrestrials, 345 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:37,000 UFO researchers are now going all the way back to the world's earliest known civilization, the Sumerians, 346 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:47,000 dating to 6000 BC, located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia, an area often called the Cradle of Civilization. 347 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Mesopotamia is really the area between the Tigris and Euphrates River valleys, 348 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000 the area stretches from portions of Syria, all through Iraq, and a little bit into Kuwait, 349 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,000 a very rich, fertile area where some of the earliest agriculture in the world came about. 350 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000 The Sumerians really were the first human civilization. 351 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:14,000 This really marked the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to societies with much more sophistication, 352 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,000 who wrote down in written language, who constructed cities. 353 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:26,000 The Sumerians are also well known for the construction of pyramid-like structures known as ziggurats. 354 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Ziggurats are just large monumental constructions that the elite would use for multitude of purposes, 355 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000 for living quarters, to conduct ceremonies, things of that nature. 356 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000 They're built over a long period of time, like most temples are. 357 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Although religious scholars believe the ziggurats were used mostly for spiritual purposes, 358 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000 is it possible these massive temples served a very different purpose? 359 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:57,000 When you look at these ziggurats, they have a huge solid base and a flat top, 360 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000 and then you've got this thing rising up. I mean, it's vast. 361 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000 It's easy to look at them and say, well, this is reminiscent of a landing pad. 362 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000 You can imagine something coming down and landing on the top of this thing. 363 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000 I mean, it's visible from the sky. 364 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,000 Somebody flying in could see it from a long way off, could navigate by it, and then land on the top of it. 365 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000 If ziggurats were in fact used as navigational sites, or even landing pads, 366 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000 for incoming alien craft, as most UFO researchers believe, 367 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:36,000 is it inconceivable that primitive man would mistake other worldly beings for star gods? 368 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:43,000 For me, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that there was some technology that was witnessed, 369 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,000 maybe even experienced, and I think for early human beings, their technology was magic to us. 370 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000 And this is why these beings were worshiped as gods. 371 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,000 If you're an ancient primitive human culture and you see these extraterrestrials come in on fiery sleds 372 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:05,000 or fiery shields, rockets landing near your village and coming out of their spacecraft 373 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:11,000 and displaying all this incredible technology, there's no way you're going to look at them as anything but gods 374 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,000 who can manipulate the physical universe in ways that you hadn't even thought of before that. 375 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000 But what can explain why such similar pyramid structures are found in ancient sites 376 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000 throughout the world? 377 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:29,000 Pyramids in Egypt, pyramids in Mexico, pyramids in Bosnia. 378 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000 There are alleged pyramids in China. We need to look into these more. 379 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,000 If there is a series of pyramid creations around the world, we need to understand why that is so, 380 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000 and if there's some kind of culture that is related to all of them. 381 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000 Maybe it's a coincidence, but pyramid structure does seem to be a recurrent one 382 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000 more than we have realized in ancient human history. 383 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:57,000 The simple fact is that pyramids are extremely expensive to design, construct, and effectively create 384 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:05,000 and yet all around the world we see these beautifully precise, incredibly calculated pyramidal structures. 385 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000 And they may not look exactly alike, but they all have the same function. 386 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000 They all have mathematical alignments, alignments with the stars, the sun, the moon. 387 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000 They're all meant to serve a certain purpose. 388 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:23,000 And what I see is an expression of the same concepts, the same scientific ideas 389 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:30,000 all across different cultures, all saying the same thing, which is that we came from somewhere else. 390 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:40,000 Mainstream scientists offer few clues about how ancient cultures arrived upon the mathematical knowledge 391 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:48,000 and engineering skill necessary to build these precise structures at such an early stage of human evolution. 392 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Even more astonishing, how could ancient cultures separated across time and vast distances 393 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,000 with no means of communication build pyramids so similar to those first built in Sumer? 394 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,000 The odds of these separate cultures arriving at the same evolutionary point intellectually 395 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,000 are remarkably slim, according to UFO researchers, which leads them to believe 396 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000 that the knowledge was spread by what we call unidentified flying objects. 397 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Not only are we seeing pyramids in Sumer, but we are seeing them all over the world 398 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000 and they are very similar structures. 399 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000 Was there some extraterrestrial intelligence perhaps giving information 400 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000 or guiding these civilizations to build objects that are very similar? 401 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:42,000 For this knowledge to be spread throughout the world had to have some kind of help 402 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000 and that help would be star visitors with UFO technology. 403 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:54,000 Obviously we can only speculate about what happened millennia ago in relation to alien visitation, 404 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,000 but the evidence is intriguing and ought not to be dismissed out of hand. 405 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:10,000 If UFOs really are here, it's absolutely logical to think that they've probably been here for thousands of years. 406 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,000 So it makes sense that if we're seeing it today and it really is a phenomenon connected to aliens, 407 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000 then I'm guessing they probably saw it thousands of years ago as well. 408 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,000 Does the evidence suggest that the Sumerian ziggurats and other pyramids all around the world 409 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,000 were really used as landing sites for ancient UFOs? 410 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,000 And if, as some mainstream scholars admit, questions still exist about the origin of life on Earth, 411 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000 is it possible that otherworldly beings had a hand in seeding mankind? 412 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:53,000 I definitely think that UFOs planted the seed for the expansion and transformation of our life as human beings. 413 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000 I think this is where our religions come from. 414 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:07,000 According to investigators, the translations of ancient Sumerian tablets may actually reveal the true origin of man. 415 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000 While investigating the history of ancient UFO contact, investigators discover the stunning idea 416 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:24,000 that early UFOs may not just be about contact, but about the beginning of the human species. 417 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000 And they say the evidence lies along the eastern bank of the Tigris River 418 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000 in what was once known as Upper Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, 419 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,000 in the ruins of the great Sumerian city of Nineveh. 420 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Here, in 1849, British archaeologist Austin Laird discovers ancient clay tablets, 421 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000 30,000 of them, dating back an estimated 6,000 years. 422 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:58,000 What they depicted was really the origin of one of mankind's greatest achievements, which is the written word. 423 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000 They contained what's now known as the Sumerian cuneiform text. 424 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,000 Early attempts to translate the text were largely unsuccessful, 425 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,000 and after a century passes, the tablets were all but forgotten. 426 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000 Their true meaning shrouded in mystery. 427 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000 Then, in the 20th century, a new generation of scholars attempts to translate the tablets. 428 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000 One in particular was Zachariah Sitchin. 429 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:32,000 Part of what he wanted to do with his research is to be able to read these for himself 430 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:39,000 and not just take verbatim the word of people who had translated them with a different worldview. 431 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,000 What Sitchin's translations revealed sent shockwaves through academic circles and the UFO community. 432 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,000 Zachariah Sitchin produced a controversial translation of some of the clay tablets, 433 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000 and he said that they spoke about the Anunnaki. 434 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:07,000 According to Zachariah Sitchin's translation, these clay tablets are talking about 435 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000 the craft that fly in the air. 436 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000 They're talking about the quest for immortality. 437 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,000 They're talking about war in heaven, war amongst the gods. 438 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,000 If any of this is true, the conclusion is inescapable. 439 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000 We really were visited. 440 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000 But who were these beings known as the Anunnaki? 441 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,000 The Anunnaki is Sumerian for those who from heaven to earth came. 442 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000 They are taller than us. 443 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000 They were about eight or ten feet tall, and so to us they were giants. 444 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:49,000 So where it talks about, you know, that the gods created man in their image, we look like them. 445 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Is it possible the explosive truth discovered in the cuneiform tablets reveals 446 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,000 that the Sumerians were actually visited by a race of extraterrestrial beings? 447 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,000 And if so, why were they here? 448 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Zachariah Sitchin believed that the Sumerians were talking about extraterrestrials 449 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:19,000 who had visited the ancient Sumerians, had perhaps shared knowledge with them, 450 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:29,000 and perhaps even ceded human society as we know it by breeding with humans 451 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000 and actually producing a hybrid race. 452 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:41,000 According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki came down here to do some work, to do some mining for gold, 453 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000 to find things that they needed for their civilization. 454 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000 When the work became too intense for them, when they couldn't handle all the work, 455 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,000 they decided to fashion a worker species, and they took the genetics of themselves 456 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000 and they took the genetics of the local inhabitants and they melded them together 457 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,000 and apparently created the physical bodies of what we now call modern man. 458 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:10,000 The Sumerians believed that they were made to mine gold. 459 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,000 That's very, very interesting because if you think about it, they bred that into us, 460 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000 we still have that fascination to this day with gold. 461 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000 The real question that we want to ask about the Anunnaki is, 462 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,000 do we take these stories to be literally true, all right? 463 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000 Or do we take them as stories that the Sumerians just had about their culture? 464 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000 If we're to take them as literally true, we have a lot of questions to ask. 465 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,000 One question relates to extraordinary similarities found in the artwork of the Sumerians 466 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000 and the Olmec of Mesoamerica. 467 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:54,000 In Sumerian depictions, the Anunnaki gods hold what appears to be a small bag with a handle. 468 00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:00,000 How is it possible that a strangely similar bag is being held by the Olmec astronaut at La Venta? 469 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000 So here you see the Anunnaki's. 470 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000 They're clearly holding something in their hand. 471 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000 What is this object? 472 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000 We're seeing this with the Olmec civilization. 473 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:19,000 It is an object or objects that are almost identical. 474 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,000 Does it mean that there is a greater intelligence at work, perhaps, 475 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,000 as some theorize an extraterrestrial intelligence that is sharing this information with both civilizations? 476 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:39,000 Could there really be a direct connection between the Olmec and Sumerian civilizations, as UFO researchers theorize? 477 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000 They had existed in a very different period of time. 478 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000 But nonetheless, is it possible that there's a tie-in? 479 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000 Maybe it's a coincidence. 480 00:39:50,000 --> 00:40:00,000 If any of this is true, I mean this can only suggest that these really are talking about the same extraterrestrial visitors. 481 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:09,000 Does the evidence suggest that the Olmec and Maya were visited by the same so-called star gods known to the Sumerians as the Anunnaki? 482 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000 And if so, what would extraterrestrials have to gain by these visitations? 483 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,000 If UFOs are an advanced alien civilization and they are here in the 21st century, 484 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,000 it's absolutely logical to think that they've probably been here for thousands of years. 485 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,000 They could essentially be watching the growth of humanity. 486 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000 Would they stick around and research us that long? 487 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000 That's a big question mark. 488 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000 Maybe their agenda is to see the natural evolution of a young species. 489 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000 Maybe that is their mission. 490 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000 Is it possible that governments around the world, including in Mexico, 491 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000 have known that our civilization may have been ceded by extraterrestrial landings in the ancient past? 492 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000 If so, what else are they not telling us? 493 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,000 It's not simply that we're dealing with an inherently mysterious phenomenon, which we are. 494 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:06,000 We are also dealing with government and military obfuscation and secrecy, and that's just the fact. 495 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000 We live in an era in which there is tremendous amount of secrecy. 496 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000 Still, one thing is clear. 497 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:21,000 The Sumerian tablets do offer clues to the future, if they are to be believed. 498 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000 There is a prophecy that someday the Anunnaki will come back, 499 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000 they will return to claim their property, claim their stake, 500 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000 and live in harmony with the people of the Earth. 501 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,000 We shall see if that actually happens. 502 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:44,000 What is abundantly clear is that the fascination of other worldly visitors and their likeness throughout ancient history 503 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,000 is not something that began merely in the 20th century. 504 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000 There are undeniable gaps in our understanding of ancient cultures. 505 00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:00,000 Gaps which may only be explained according to UFO researchers if we look to the skies for answers.
